Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 907 The Finale
...

Li Xu also served as emperor for two terms, and then gave up the throne to Li Podi.

Li Podi's crown prince was inherited by Li Yan's three sons, Li Dan.

This year, Li Yan was 84.

As the saying goes, 73, 84, the king of Hades will not pick you up.

But Li Yan is still extremely tough, can eat and drink, looks like he is only in his early thirties, and can still dance his mixed iron dragon stick like a tiger, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he can't get over this hurdle .

but--

Even so, Li Yan also began to prepare for his funeral.

Although most of the royal families in Dazhong are buried in the Ming Tombs, Li Yan is not going to be buried here.

In the last life, Li Yan, who had read too many tomb robbery novels, did not want his tomb to be stolen by others. At least he should not be easily stolen by warlords or tomb robbers like the Qinhuang Mausoleum and Qianling Mausoleum.

Therefore, Li Yan recruited strange people from all over the world, and asked them to find a place for him to build the imperial mausoleum at any cost - Li Yan's consideration of Feng Shui was secondary, and Li Yan's main consideration was safety.

Moreover, Li Yan also imitated Cao Cao and set up 81 suspicious tombs and asked people to build 81 mausoleums for himself, and planned to learn from the Mongols to conduct secret burials.

In fact, when Li Yan was still in power, he already had someone build the imperial mausoleum for him.

Qu Zhi counts, Li Yan's imperial mausoleum has been built for almost 20 years, and its scale and sturdiness can be imagined.

In the past twenty years, Li Yan's imperial mausoleum has been built and used at the same time - Li Yan not only used things he liked, such as the Eastern Emperor's Canon (which Li Yan asked Li Qingzhao to compile), such as the jade seals handed down from various countries, such as Li Yan The portraits of the concubines, Li Yan's tens of thousands of concubines, were all secretly buried in Li Yan's imperial tomb by Li Yan's people after they died, and they were buried together with them when he died in the future.

Nowadays, Li Yan's imperial mausoleum is full of organs and ambushes. Once Li Yan is buried in the future, the thousand-jin gate will fall. I am afraid that if technology develops to the level of later generations, it will be difficult to open it without using the state machine. It is definitely an extremely huge project. It will not take ten or eight years to dig out Li Yan's main tomb. Moreover, the premise is that Li Yan's imperial tomb can be found accurately.

All in all, Li Yan was ready to die.

But even though Li Yan had made the preparations early on, Li Yan just didn't die.

Not only did he not die, Li Yan also lived better and better.

No way, Li Yan started acting like a demon, leading his concubines to all kinds of troubles:
Like improving traditional clothing - Li Yan changed the previous traditional clothing into the clothes of later generations, and constantly introduced new ones. Moreover, Li Yan often held fashion shows and ordered the painter to draw them as a souvenir;

For his own convenience, Li Yan made some "inventions" - such as mechanical clocks, such as glasses, such as sanitary napkins, etc...

Li Yan's current status is similar to that of a prophet, and he can cause a big earthquake by doing anything.

Waste drafts of fashion shows like Li Yan's self-entertainment, inadvertently flowed out of Chengde Palace, and immediately set off a clothing revolution.

Those "little inventions" that Li Yan made for his own convenience set off one revolution after another.

and many more……

That's all, Li Yan always publishes some "scaremongering" academic articles.

For example, the theory of evolution—Li Yan actually said that humans evolved from apes, but if someone else said it, they would have to be mobbed and attacked.

For example, Li Yan said that the earth is actually round, and human beings actually live on a huge ball composed of earth and water, and this ball is just one of countless balls, and it is a relatively small one, and Li Yan also said , not the sun revolving around the earth, but the earth revolving around the sun.

and many more……

Li Yan's ups and downs made Li Podi, who is now in power, really tired of coping.

You must know that those who control the power of the country are most afraid of instability.

And every time Li Yan did something, it would change the country.

In addition, now that we are in the critical period of the industrial revolution, these changes can easily be magnified infinitely, so that Li Podi has to put out fires everywhere.

But even so, Li Podi still didn't dare to spoil Li Yan's interest.

Firstly, most of the things Li Yan did were promoting the development of this society.

Secondly, Li Podi also respected Li Yan from the bottom of his heart, and did not dare or want to spoil Li Yan's elegance.

In view of Li Podi's performance so well, Li Yan changed his original intention (that is, he would never hand over his military power until his own death) and handed over the military power to Li Podi.

In other words, Li Podi has the ability to change Li Yan's decree.

However, Li Podi did not use his ability. Instead, he followed the succession law established by Li Yan and passed his throne to his uncle Li Dan after ten years as emperor. Li Huarong, the son of Li Ji, succeeded.

but--

Although Li Podi passed the throne to Li Dan, he followed Li Yan's wishes and did not give Li Dan the military power.

It was not until Li Dan showed his ability and respect for Li Yan on the throne that Li Podi gave Li Dan the military power.

(After Li Podi died, Li Yan personally gave Li Podi a temple name "Xiaozong".)
By this time, Li Yan's original vision had basically been realized—his descendants had entered various fields in Dazhong and became key personnel in various fields.

But at this time, the industrial revolution broke out completely, and the theory of international communism began to appear. Countless people believed in and praised it, and even many descendants of Li Yan believed in it.

This sound is getting louder and louder.

Seeing a real revolution about to break out.

At this time, Li Yan, who was already 95 years old, suddenly found all his descendants who had new ideas, and said to them: "Since you think you are right, then go and prove yourself." ——Li Yange These descendants of myself pointed out a way: there is a new continent across a large strait east of Siberia, where there is not much smaller than Dazhong, where the environment is beautiful and the soil is fertile, and you can realize your dreams to your heart's content.

Soon, Li Yan's words were confirmed-before the continuous exploration of the large and medium navies, the new continent was discovered.

Li Yan came forward and asked Li Youdao, the great-grandson of Li Yan who was in power at the time, to form an army for his descendants with new ideas, provide them with everything they needed, and let them go to the New World to realize their new ideas.

In addition, under Li Yan's guidance, anyone with new ideas, whether they like it or not, will be sent to the New World by Li Youdao and the others.

Li Yan eased the impact of the Industrial Revolution by opening the floodgates.

This is the last thing Li Yan can do for his descendants.

Another four years passed.

Li Yan is 99 years old.

This year, Li Yan's body is still very strong, and he can still eat, drink and have fun.

But suddenly one day, Li Yanfu's soul came to him - he felt that his time limit was coming soon.

At this time, Li Yan had nothing to worry about—almost all of Li Yan's concubines were boiled to death by Li Yan, including Li Fengniang and other daughters whom Li Yan finally accepted, but they couldn't survive Li Yan, and Li Yan's descendants They all have their own lives, and most of them are very happy. Most of the old brothers who fought with Li Yan at the beginning, including the old brothers who later ruled the world with Li Yan, are also dead. Yan is very strange.

Therefore, Li Yan is not afraid of death, on the contrary, he is somewhat relieved.

He casually left a letter to his descendants, and under the escort of his absolute confidants, Li Yan left Chengde Palace with more than 100 concubines who were begging for nothing and had to go with him. For more than 40 years the imperial mausoleum.

Li Yan didn't let his cronies go up the mountain with him, but took his more than 80 concubines who still insisted on going up the mountain with his mixed iron panlong stick.

When he came to his imperial mausoleum, Li Yan looked back at the road he had walked.

After a long time, Li Yan said, "I don't have any regrets anymore."

Li Yan looked at his concubines again, focusing on a few of them who were only about 30 years old, and then said: "You regret it now, it's still too late, I won't blame you."

All the girls shook their heads together, and said in unison: "The concubines are willing to sleep with the emperor forever, without any complaints or regrets!"

Li Yan heard the words, stopped talking nonsense, and strode into the imperial tomb.

Not long after, a black dragon suddenly rushed out of the mountain where Li Yanhuang's tomb was located, and then went straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain where Li Yan's imperial tomb was located collapsed, and Li Yan's imperial tomb disappeared completely.
